The other woman

Chapter 10

It is now Friday and nothing much is happening at work. After lunch everyone is checkout in preparation for their weekend. I hate to admit it but I have been thinking about James all week. It doesn't help that he calls me or text me throughout the day. 

Picking up my phone I see a text from James. Call me, let's just talk please. 

I flip my phone over and turn to look outside. It is a nice sunny day, one of the reason I love California. I look at a group of teenagers all hanging out by the bus stop. I miss those days when the biggest worry was passing your test. 

"You don't answer my calls or text so I had no other choice but to come." I swing around and face James. He looks tired with bags under his eyes. 

"James why are you here? I told you it is over." I get up from my chair and make my way around the desk. 

James closes the door and comes to sit by the chair closes to me. "I just want to talk, we haven't talked in over a week." 

"What more is there to say?" I ask James sadly. I do not make eye contact with James for fear I will give in. 

"Sarah we have been together for over 3 years, you cannot expect me to forget about you without a second thought! You are my confidant, my rock through everything that happens in my life. You cannot deny that I am also that for you." James gets up angrily from his chair. 

"No I cannot deny that but you cannot blame me for wanting a better future! " I yell back angrily. 

"What more do you want Sarah, you got everything you wanted. You have a loving family, a nice home, a loving dog, space all for yourself- don't I treat you right? Do you really want someone with you all day and night? I can tell you that it is not all flowers and rainbows." James walks over to the window and stares at the by passers. 

After a moment of silence I finally tell him, "You cannot tell me it is all bad. I know there are good time or you wouldn't still be married... I am not getting any younger, I have to at least try."

I get up and join him by the window. "I am going to give it a try with Charlie and maybe he isn't the one but I will not find him if you are always there competing with them."

James doesn't reply instead he takes my hand he places it on his cheek, after a few seconds of us staring into each others eyes he turns his head and places a kiss on the palm of my hand. I cannot help but feel my eyes water. 

"Oh Sarah don't cry, I cannot stand to see you like this." James pulls me into his chest, I resit but eventually I let him hold me. I allow myself to cry for what could have been. 

James pulls away and sits on my chair. Pulling me to him, he cradles me and rocks me back and forth. James always makes me feels safe and loved by simply holding me. We sit in silence until my tears subside. 

Taking my face into his hand he stares into my eyes, slowly he leans in to kiss me. I should resit, he is gave me enough time to say no but I pull him closer to me. His lips are gentle like he is afraid he is going to scare me away. It feels to good for me to pull away. Running my tongue on his bottom lip I bite it gently. James returns my kiss full force and soon we are fighting for dominance. 

Pulling away for breath James continues a slow kiss down my throat. "This is going to be a mistake." I whisper as I straddle him. 

I wore a wrap dress and loosing the knot I am almost naked in front of him. Taking my breast into his hands he squeezes and molds them in his hand. Biting my nipple through my bra I moan. I feel my panties getting wet, urgently I reach down and unbuckle his belt and unzip his pants to allow me to feel his hard cock. Squeezing and pumping him we both groan.
